FOREWORD
About ANAFI Ai
Always transport ANAFI Ai safely stored in its case and always replace its gimbal
protection before storing it in its case.
ANAFI Ai was designed and optimized to fly as is. Parrot therefore strongly
discourages the use of any add-on or accessory which could be mounted on, or
attached to ANAFI Ai (feet extensions, buoys, hulls, etc.). In addition to the
overweight they carry for the drone and its motors, they can indeed magnetically
disturb ANAFI Ai and impair its communications.
About power lines and pylons
Flying close to power installations may impact the behavior of the drone. Always keep
your distances from power installations such as power lines and pylons. Higher
powers carry higher disturbance potential. In any case, never fly closer than 3 m (9 ft)
from a power installation.
About Wi-Fi
Parrot asks you to switch off your smartphone’s Wi-Fi connection when flying
ANAFI Ai with both the Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your phone: with this
configuration, the drone and the controller communicate through ANAFI Ai’s Wi-Fi
network and activating your phone’s Wi-Fi can only result in interferences.
About GPS
ANAFI Ai does not need a satellite – GPS, Glonass, Galileo – synchronization (or fix) to
take off. It can therefore be piloted indoor and through cluttered areas, stabilized by its
onboard sensors.
However, automated and assisted flight modes require both ANAFI Ai and the
FreeFlight 7 device synchronization to geocoordinate satellites – the Parrot
Skycontroller 4 alone has no geo-positioning capacity.
For this reason, Parrot recommends ANAFI Ai pilots to always set up, start and finish
their automated and assisted flights from wide open areas, as a sports field.
About 4K video formats
4K video formats are professional grade media which may not be read natively by
slower computers. Shoot in 1080p or use a video converter to turn your ANAFI Ai’s
4K videos into a more manageable format (like 1080p) if they do not read properly on
your equipment.
